The Ant Bully

Rated PG88 minutes2006

To boost his non-existing ego, the neighborhood nerd (voiced by Zach Tyler) attacks an innocent ant colony that consequentially calls him The Destroyer. Therefore, an ant wizard (voiced by Nicolas Cage) concocts a mystical golden potion that shrinks the four-eyed rascal with one drop in his ear. Now, the ant-sized boy is sentenced by the omnipotent ant queen (voiced by Meryl Streep) to live among the ants. There, Hova (voiced by Julia Roberts) and others teach him to climb up walls, eat worm poop, pilot hornets and defeat the cigar-smoking exterminator, while also conveying the importance of teamwork. The computer-animated critters and fast-paced plot will entice the little ones, while the clever insect puns will appease the older ones.
